I got so distracted with video game news this month, that when I finally got up off my lazy butt to work on translations for Ultimate Battle 03, the card previews for Ultimate Battle 04 were already almost finished on the Japanese website...! So I instantly started cracking on these new cards. I'm surprised they unveiled almost half of the full set! And now, without further ado, here's the new (belated) edition of These Cards are AMAZING!!

Another new keyword ability emerges! Burst Triggers make a triumphant return! The new DoubleUltimateTrigger ability is further developed and distributed among Ultimates!

***RUBY CARDS: The Dragonlord Trinity and Their Synergy with the Ryuuman Spirits***

Following the appearance of Ultimate Siegwurm Nova and Ultimate Sagitto Apollodragon, the third Ultimate Dragon makes his grand entrance: Ultimate Savior, Astral Dragon Emperor! The "Dragonlord Trinity" is at last complete!!Ultimate Savior's greatest appeal is that he can be Burst Trigger Summoned! Plus, his Ultimate Trigger effect lets you set a Burst Card to refresh him for a strong multiple assault!You could also use the supporting powers of the three new "Ryuuman" Spirits to bring more completeness in a Dragonlord-Trinity-centric deck.

When Summoned (Lv. 1-2-3): You may reveal the top three cards of your deck. Add all "Dragonlord Trinity" Attribute Ultimates among the revealed cards to your hand, then send the remaining card(s) to the bottom of your deck in any order you wish.(Lv. 1-2-3): SPIRITSOUL:RubyWhen you summon an Ultimate to the Field, this Spirit gains one additional Ruby Gem Symbol ("[R]").I just don't think it can be done. As powerful as the Dragonlord Trinity are, I can't a possible way for our two lands to avoid crashing into each other....—————[BS27-003] LAND AXE RYUUMAN {3} -1R, -2Uリューマン・ランドアックス (Ryuuman-Rando-Akkusu)Common Ruby Spirit [R] DragonLevel 1 <1>: 2000BP, Level 2 <2>: 4000BP, Level 3 <3>: 5000BP

When Summoned (Lv. 1-2-3): Return one "Dragon" Attribute Spirit from your Trash back to your hand.(Lv. 3): As long as all of the Ultimates on your Field are of the "Dragonlord Trinity" Attribute, treat all of your Ultimates as if they were at their highest respective Battle Levels.In order to overcome our current problems, it seems that assistance from the Dragonlord Trinity is crucial. But why is our power needed as well? Someone please tell me.—————[BS27-006] RAYLANCER RYUUMAN {5} -2R, -1Uリューマン・レイランサー (Ryuuman-Reiransaa)Rare Ruby Spirit [R] DragonLevel 1 <1>: 4000BP, Level 2 <4>: 8000BP

During Your Main Phase (Lv. 1-2-3): When you summon a "Dragonlord Trinity" Attribute Ultimate, you may reveal the top five cards of your deck. From among the revealed cards, summon one "Dragonlord Trinity" Attribute Ultimate to the Field without paying the Core Cost. You cannot summon an Ultimate with this effect if it has the same name as one of your Ultimates on the Field. Discard the remaining cards.The six of us are now accompanied by a scholarly Ultimate and the three extremely strong beings known as "the Dragonlord Trinity." The more company we gain, the more troublesome things become.—————[BS27-X03] ULTIMATE SAVIOR, ASTRAL DRAGON EMPEROR {7} -3R星龍皇アルティメット・セイバー (Seiryuu'ou Arutimetto-Seibaa)X-Rare Ruby Burst Ultimate {U} Dragonlord Trinity/Warrior DragonLevel 3 <1>: 10,000BP, Level 4 <3>: 13,000BP, Level 5 <5>: 20,000BP

Ultimate Summoning Conditions: Have at least one Ruby Spirit on your Field.BURST TRIGGER: After an Enemy Spirit/Ultimate AttacksWhen you have three or fewer Life Cores remaining, send one Core from your Reserve to your Life. After completing this effect, summon this Ultimate without paying its Core Cost.ULTIMATE TRIGGER: When This Ultimate is in Battle (Lv. 4-5)First, have your opponent reveal the top card of his/her deck. If the revealed card has a lower Core Cost than your Ultimate does, the Ultimate Trigger "hits" and the following effect activates:"When this Ultimate Trigger hits, set a card with Burst Trigger effects in your hand face-down in the Burst Zone in order to refresh this Ultimate."Turn the darkest crisis into a golden opportunity! You can do this; you're the Trinity of Dragon Gods!<<Revival Remake Origin: [BS18-X01] Lord Dragon Savior, Supreme Hero of Heroes>>

The Topaz Ultimates of this set have become much easier to summon. Brave God-General Oh-Ryute can change the Core Cost of all your "Vanity Deity" Attribute Ultimates to 5. Use Oh-Ryute to lower the summoning cost of Ultimate Sphincross, then use Sphincross's "When Summoned" effect to summon more "Vanity Deity" and "Imaginary Beast" Attribute Ultimates.The optimal choice from here is the new X-Rare, Ultimate Rean! Each time Ultimate Rean'sDoubleUltimateTrigger hits, an enemy Spirit or Ultimate is unable to block!Diva Countess Coco raises the Core Cost of your Ultimates by +2, making it easier for your Ultimate Triggers to hit. Also, when your Ultimate Triggers hit, Coco lets you draw a card, allowing an effective battling style.

During Your Main Phase (Lv. 1-2-3): When you are summoning a "Vanity Deity" Attribute Ultimate from your hand to the Field, change its Core Cost to 5.During Your Opponent's Attack Phase (Lv. 2-3): When an enemy Lv. 1 Spirit attacks, you will not take any Life Core Damage. Also, as long as you have an Ultimate on the Field, you will not lose Life Cores from an enemy Lv. 3 Ultimate either.With the appearance of the Vanity Deity, I can't say we have a significant advantage, but the situation has become slightly better than a stalemate.... Which means that if the Vanity Deity is defeated, we'll be in a bit of a tight spot.—————[BS27-058] ULTIMATE SPHINCROSS {10} -3T, -2Uアルティメット・スフィンクロス (Arutimetto-Sufinkurosu)Uncommon Topaz Ultimate {U} Reborn/Vanity DeityLevel 3 <1>: 13,000BP, Level 4 <2>: 19,000BP, Level 5 <3>: 25,000BP

If one of the revealed cards has a lower Core Cost than your Ultimate does, the "hit" succeeds and the Ultimate Trigger effect activates. If both cards have a lower Core Cost, the "Double Strike" effect activates together with the Ultimate Trigger effect.Ultimate Trigger: For each time this Ultimate Trigger hits, choose a target enemy Spirit or Ultimate. That target Spirit/Ultimate cannot block.Double Strike!! If the above Ultimate Trigger hits twice, then for the duration of this turn, when any of your Ultimates get destroyed based on Battle Point difference, they remain on the Field refreshed.(Lv. 5): This Ultimate gains another Ultimate Gem Symbol ("{U}").He's slipping through the massive enemy forces... So fast!!<<Revival Remake Origin: [BS05-X17] Phantom Beastlord Rean, [BS13-X05] Astral Qilin Beast Rean>>—————[BS27-040] DIVA COUNTESS COCO {7} -3T, -1U歌姫伯爵ココ (Utahime-Hakushaku Koko)Rare Topaz Spirit [T] DivaLevel 1 <1>: 6000BP, Level 2 <2>: 8000BP

Ruby Cards with Emerald Cost Reduction! Emerald Cards with Ruby Cost Reduction! Gem Color support is plentiful in this set! No matter which side you go to, both have RUSH Combo effects with the other, bringing out the best of both worlds. With this much synergy between Ruby andEmerald Cards, this will surely herald the birth of new powerful decks similar to the Diamond/Amethyst decks that have become popular in the current metagame.What particularly stand out in this set are the Core boosting abilities of Cheiron the Dragon Sage,Ruri Osa the Sextant Blade, and Golden Shell Emperor Rosenberg. Once you give yourself an abundance of Cores, put together their other effects for countless possibilities!Some of the new Reverse Zodiac Braves also have Ruby and Emerald Core Cost Reduction Symbols, making it easier to swarm your rivals with awesome abilities!

***AMETHYST CARDS: Think You Can Handle the Poison? Introducing "VENOMBLADE"!!***

VENOMBLADE (Original Japanese: 毒刃 Dokujin, "Poisonous Sword") is an all-new Amethyst keyword ability to be showcased in this set! When a Spirit with the Special Amethyst Ability VENOMBLADE is in battle, your opponent must place a certain number of cards from the top of his/her deck face-down on the Field beneath one of his/her Spirits or Ultimates. It's almost like an alternate version of the Special Sapphire Ability CRUSH as it reduces your rivals' decks faster. Now on paper, this may not sound like it amounts to much on its own, but there are many other cards that use VENOMBLADE as a conditional reference to combo into other awesome effects! From Spirit destruction and Nexus cancellation to freezing enemy Ultimates in their tracks, the new VENOMBLADE cards of this set will be more than enough to dish out critical pain on your foes!The Nexus Card Judecca, Ancient City of Souls provides high-level VENOMBLADE support by both giving you defense against Immunity abilities and inhibiting your rivals from depleting their own Spirits. The Brave Card Equ Leus, Astral Guardian Armor increases the number of cards your opponent must place face-down via VENOMBLADE, potentially strengthening your chance of a deck-out victory! Finally, summon the Amethyst X-Rare Nemesis, Lord of Dark Knights for the finishing blow. Settle the score with massive Life Core Damage effects!!

When in Battle (Lv. 1-2): VENOMBLADE: 1 <Special Amethyst Ability>From the top of his/her deck, your opponent must place the stated number of cards face-down on the Field beneath one of his/her Spirits or Ultimates. Once that target Spirit or Ultimate with face-down cards below it leaves the Field, the face-down cards are discarded.We Dark Snakes have an old proverb: "If you'll eat venom, you might as well eat the plate, too.*" Just because the poison is delicious doesn't mean you should consume too much of it.<<Name Origin: "Ariel" [from the Hebrew "Arael (Lion of God)"], an archangel found primarily in Jewish and Christian mysticism and Apocrypha>>*毒を食らわば皿までも "Doku wo kurawaba sara made mo" (directly translated from the original Japanese): an idiom that basically states that if someone is going to commit a crime he might as well do something even worse, for the punishment that awaits will be no less severe. English equivalents include "In for a penny, in for a pound" and "Might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb" (People who stole lambs in 17th Century Britain were killed, so it was worth stealing something more valuable for there was no worse punishment.).—————[BS27-011] RAMIEL THE FALLEN KNIGHT {3} -1A堕天騎士ラミエル (Daten-Kishi Ramieru)Common Amethyst Spirit [A] Evil ShadowLevel 1 <1>: 2000BP, Level 2 <2>: 3000BP, Level 3 <3>: 4000BP

But the fact that none of them outright stated they were against it must mean that, somewhere deep in their innermost thoughts, they believed that eliminating the Spirits of the world was a good idea.

There are many Diamond Cards in this set with special effects that reference and support Spirits with "Mobile" in their names. Put these together with other Mobile-named Spirits from previous sets, and you have the makings of a "Mobile Deck!"Another of the Twelve Reverse Zodiac Braves,Astral Lion Armor, Leo Brave, makes its grand debut. Its Brave Fusion conditions may be a bit strict, but upon fusing it gives you a refresh ability, so you can continue pressing the attack without having to worry about your rival's Spirits or Ultimates!

During Each Attack Phase (Lv. 2): When one of your Spirits with "Mobile" in its name gets destroyed by your opponent, you may return your destroyed Spirit to your hand.This is the third time I've seen this tank fleet appear. This must be some kind of déjà vu... Wait, no! The exact same scene is being repeated three times over. Could the mysteries of the Astral Spirits be hidden within this phenomenon?

(Lv. 1-2-3): All of your Spirits with "Mobile" in their names can perform Brave Fusion while ignoring the conditions.[BRAVE FUSION] When This Spirit Brave Attacks (Lv. 2-3): Discard one enemy Burst Card in order to return one enemy Ultimate to your opponent's hand.Something strange is stuck on that tank, eh?? This is a bit hilarious, but I have no time to laugh.—————[BS27-029] RIDE FENCER, WARMECH EMPEROR {5} -2D戦機皇ライドフェンサー (Senkiou Raido-Fensaa)Common Diamond Spirit [D] Astral General/Armed MachineLevel 1 <1>: 4000BP, Level 2 <2>: 6000BP, Level 3 <4>: 8000BP

Also, this Spirit gains +5000BP.It's no use. Those Star creatures are deflecting even the Ultimates' power. We have no chance of winning, I want to run away.... Should we run?

To say that the new Sapphire X-Rare Spirit Great Admiral Claudius is "quite strong" would be a bit of an understatement. He destroys all enemy Spirits with a Core Cost of 4 or lower upon being summoned, gives you a Core from the Void for each Spirit destroyed, wields the Special Sapphire Ability ASSAULT, and keeps your rivals from casting certain Spells when you attack. As an added bonus, Claudius has two Gem Symbols for double the Life Core Damage!Two Nexus Cards that support these abilities have their own powerful effects. Naval Port Town of Ostea in particular is perfectly compatible for ASSAULT-themed decks as it's a very simple and easy card to use.With a high Core Cost of 8, Admiral Claudius will be a bit tough to summon, but he is of the "Fighting Spirit" Attribute... Perfect for Blitz Summoning! Put past Blitz Summoners like [BS25-049] Giant Gunman Clifford or [BS26-043] Astral Ocean Pirate Persace in your deck to increase your chances of getting Claudius onto the Field!

When This Spirit Attacks (Lv. 1-2-3): ASSAULT: 1 <Special Sapphire Ability>During this turn for the number of times stated above, you can exhaust one of your Nexus in order to refresh this Spirit.During Your Attack Phase (Lv. 2-3): When you exhaust one of your Nexus using the Special Sapphire Ability ASSAULT of one of your Spirits or Ultimates, destroy one enemy Nexus.Antarc...

***"NEW AGE" ATTRIBUTE ULTIMATES: New Abilities Even When Guarded...!***

Of course, they also have Ultimate Trigger abilities of their own when they successfully hit. This is like having "two Ultimate Triggers in one creature;" now you have options open to you whether your U-Triggers hit or miss! Spectacular!!This cycle of "New Age" Ultimates come at a cheap Core Cost of 4, so they're easy to use. They're very valuable pieces to add to an Ultimate deck that can overwhelm your rivals!
